India became the center of attraction for these renowned schools around the world
Renowned schools of the world are now desperate to come to India. These schools now want to open local campuses of foreign schools in the country. The famous Millfield School of England is ready to come to India. Millfield School was established in Gujarat. This school was started by the sons of the Maharaja of Dhrangadhara. Later this school opened in England from here. Now this school is preparing to return home again. Millfield School has its eyes on Delhi and Mumbai as well. Both these cities are included in its favorite places.
Planning to open schools in major cities of the country
Millfield School is not alone in preparing to move to India. UK Harrow School has partnered with Amity Education Group. Together these people are going to open Harrow International School in Bangalore in September 2023. UK’s Wellington College International is also going to open in Pune. Many top international schools have tied up with local partners. They are ready to start their second campus in India. US Rutgers Prep Schools, in partnership with Edovu Ventures, plans to open four US EduGlobal schools in India in September 2023 in Lucknow, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Jaipur.
Millfield School talking to its alumni
Some, like Millfield School, are still watching the wind. Millfield headmaster Gavin Horgan says we are here on an exploration journey. He said that we are also talking to our alumni to understand the hunger of the people for Millfield. Horgan says that we do not have any campus in any other country but it is prudent to start with India as we have strong ties to the past. We feel that Indian parents give importance to holistic education and the emphasis on academic results is a thing of the past.
According to the ISC Research Market Intelligence Report, the popularity of international schools in India has increased over the past 10 years. This is because local parents with no financial means have become increasingly aware of the benefits of international education. At the same time, they are more dissatisfied with the old pattern of the education situation in the country. Sam Fraser, Director of Research at ISC Research, said the pandemic and the National Education Policy (NEP) have, in many ways, highlighted the benefits of international education for the growing Indian middle class. Wellington College, Harrow School and Rutgers are paving the way for renewed interest in international education investment and growth across India.
